Clogged MG DPF? Compare refurbishment and cleaning prices in seconds.

A Diesel Particulate Filter (or DPF) captures soot particles, and is an essential component of any modern diesel engine, but can become blocked over time, and replacement isn't cheap. Fortunately many of our friendly, expert garages across Gateshead offer chemical cleaning as an alternative, so you can receive competitive MG quotes FAST.

well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE.

Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else.
And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea.
The oil change was fine though.

Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.

Great service from the Tariq and the guys at Fenham Garage. Small problem (washers) turned into a big job due to the placement of the washer bottle behind the wheel arch! Tariq showed me the issue, explained what was required, the parts he would use and kept me informed throughout. Cheers guys

Claire, Suzuki Alto

Good job of servicing, the guys were helpful with advice (but not pushing for more work), also checked other things about the car that I was worried about and put my mind to ease. Glad to use them again!

The guys did a good job of replacing the timing belt - even though they admitted that there was more work than expected (and it took longer in the day), the price was left the same.

Excellent service i'll definitely be back. The puncture could not be fixed due to its position as expected but I had requested a specific tyre encase it needed replaced which was waiting for me on arrival at the cheapest price around. Full turnaround time of under 30mins. Brilliant service highly recommend!

An awkward job with the car requiring more work than initially expected, but dealt with very well and at a reasonable price by GC Autos.

To be fair these guys where extremely pleasant to deal with and stuck good to there £10 price.
I asked for three things in my request for work needed doing.
1. Remove air bag light from incorrect sat nav installation
2. Change clock from 24 hours to standard 12 hour format to be able to update sat nav.
3. Change 1 click of the key button to open all doors instead of just drivers door.
They took the airbag light off and apparently couldn't do the other things without a vag computer, I did mention this in the request for work,silly to take on a job you don't have the equipment to deal with! As I say one of the best garages I have been to customer service wise, they just didn't fix the problem

Friendly helpful service, would use again. Part not readily available but they still sourced it for fitting next day.

Guy I spoke to was very professional and helpful. Told me exactly what was wrong with the car and also pointed these out. Had agreed to go and get the job done tomorrow morning however my dad suprised me telling me he's booked me in somewhere else and had already paid! Good value for money and feel bad my dad took business away from you! Would deffinately recommend people to try this garage.

Really impressed with the service at Tripal Garage! Having been given the wrong advice from another garage, Parm was very honest about what did need sorting on the car and did it at a very reasonable price. Will be using this garage from now on! Thank you.

Hopefully our FAQ section has answered some of the questions you may have about diesel particulate filters, however, if you would like more information, we have the following guide help you understand more about your MG Ever since 2009, the Euro 5 standard has been enforced, a rule which ensures all new diesel MG must have particulate filters fitted.

These pieces of equipment were introduced in an effort to reduce the particle and soot emissions from diesel engines. Diesel Particulate filters (DPF) trap soot before it blows out of an exhaust and like any filter, it requires cleaning in order to maintain performance.

Fortunately the filter itself has self-cleaning capabilities known as regeneration.

There are two types of regeneration which can be carried out on your MG.

Passive Regeneration

This process happens automatically while the exhaust is at a high temperature which will usually occur when you are driving down a motorway or quickly down an A-road. However, as many vehicles aren’t always being driven at high speeds, an alternative system for regeneration exists.

Active Regeneration

This method of cleaning the DFP is controlled by an engine management computer and happens automatically when the filter reaches 45% of its limit. The process is initiated by the fuel injection being increased which makes the exhaust heat up and therefore clear the filter. However, if your drive is a short one and the process tries to initiate, it will not be able to properly clear the filter, in this eventuality, the warning light in your car will come on.

A drive of about ten minutes at a speed of around 40mph should be adequate for the process to be successful.

Here are the signs of automatic regeneration

Cooling fans running

Increased idle speed

Deactivation of automatic stop/start

A slight increase in fuel consumption

A hot and strong smell emitting from the exhaust

The note of the engine changing
However if the regeneration is unsuccessful, the fuel which is earmarked to burnt, will have to drain into the sump.

This will result in the oil quality in your MG getting worst and its level will rise.

That is why it is important that you keep an eye on your oil levels at all times as any drops, change in viscosity or mixing with other agents such as lubricant or water, can cause serious damage.

You should have an automatic sensor in your MG to warn you of any impending damage, which should not be ignored as the entire engine will be at risk.

If you do ignore the DPF light the filter will reach a point where it cannot function and other warning lights will come on as other parts of the engine are effected. If the soot level reached 70-75% you have no choice but to take the car to a garage and have it manually refreshed.

What prevents automation regeneration?

Lots of small journeys

Wrong oil type

Gas recirculation malfunction

Constant low fuel level

Low additive levels
If these issues are effecting your MG it is almost certain that you will need your filter replacing which is likely to cost upwards of £1000 including diagnostic and labour time.

And if you were thinking of saving all of that time and money by removing the filter completely, think again, it’s illegal to remove the DPF.

The Department for Transport states that it is an offence to remove the filter or modify the piece of equipment in a way which would result in the vehicle failing air pollutant emission standards. Breaking the law will result in the vehicle not being road worthy so if you are ever offered to have your filter removed, make sure to keep this in mind.

Every MOT now includes a check for the DPF and a smoke test from the exhaust so there is very little chance of getting away with removing the filter.

If you need to have the filter regenerated manually, you must take your vehicle to a trained professional immediately. They will initiate a process where the exhaust is heated up to a point where regeneration happens and soot is cleared from the filter.
